ICKLESHAM CASUALS CHRISTMAS GOLF EVENT
The weather forecast wasn’t good but 12 foolhardy ICFC members turned up at Horam Park Golf Club on 29th December 2009 for the Christmas Golf Event.
The format was a 9 hole Texas Scramble – a team event which involves 3-person teams playing three balls, but with each shot coming from the same spot (the best of the three drives is chosen and all three team members then hit from that spot, and so on).
The winning team was captained (in the loosest definition of the word) by Mick Beaumont and his team members were Gavin Moor and <personnamew:ston>Bob Baker. They went round in a par score of 35 for the 9 holes and - when the team handicaps had been deducted - won by 2 shots.
Tony Forster’s team (with Ollie Beaumont and Keith Swallow) were second. A considerable achievement considering Tony was hardly the positive role-model having moaned about the rain and the cold and the state of the greens and…….
Steve Beales’s team (with Richard Forrest and young buck Lewis Tiltman) were third (fantastic team bonding, Steve!) and Dave Tiltman’s team (Wayne Bumstead and David Mayne) were fourth. The fact that they went out last and therefore played half their round in the heavy rain and could scarcely grip a club on the last two holes may have had something to do with it…..
Wayne Bumstead and Gavin Moor won prizes for nearest the pin on the 5th and 7th.respectively
Despite the weather an enjoyable and worthwhile event – at least I thought so!

Jon Fuller Memorial Match
The annual match between Icklesham Casuals and Viking in memory of Jon Fuller took place on Sunday 13th September. It was good to see many old friends again with this year's game marking the first appearances of both Hugh Sullivan and Keith Swallow. An enjoyable and competitive encounter saw an Icklesham victory for the third year in a row (do we now get to keep the trophy?) by 5 goals to 4 with a hat-trick from Bob Baker and two goals from Felix Sullivan. Bill Beaumont, appearing for Viking, was named man of the match.
Thanks go to Stuart Adams and Martin Tytherleigh for their hard work in organising the game and to all those who helped. The sum of £231.50 was raised for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
Pictures of the day have been added to the website in "Photo Gallery 2 Misc 2009 - date" but if anyone has any photographs we would appreciate copies being sent to the club e-mail address so we can add them to the club records. Thank you.

ICKLESHAM GOLF DAY 23rd JULY 2009
Wellshurst Golf and Country Club near Horam was the venue for the second Icklesham Golf Day.
After the normal whingeing about handicaps (completely ignored of course by the organiser) Dan Marsh the 2008 champion struck the first shot into the rough. Tim Linch took a massive divot with a swing faster than a Formula 1 car and then Dave Tiltman also put his shot into the rough. It was left to Ollie Beaumont to show the way for the first group with a drive down the middle. Three other groups followed with Wayne Bumstead, George Potter and Mark Stace making their debuts.
Lewis Tiltman – playing off a handicap of 8 – started badly and scored poorly on some of the early holes. His class quickly began to show however and his drive on the par 4 seventh – leading to a birdie 3 will long live in the memory. He will want to forget his drive on the 9th however which hit a tree and bounced back within five yards of the tee. He won the shortest drive prize!
Mark Stace was a steady scorer – despite having his nicotine supply cut off by a lost lighter on the 7th – and could have been the champion if he had scored points on the 18th
Steve Beale was also wonderfully consistent and only a couple of holes on the back nine where he failed to score prevented him getting into the top 3. On those couple of holes we were treated to more swear words than was healthy for a teacher and upstanding member of the community.
Chris Baker – last year’s wooden spoon winner – improved dramatically this year failing to score on only 3 holes and ending up with 31 points.
Keith Swallow - who had been quiely lobbying for an improvement in his handicap – did very nicely playing off the same as 2008 to finish 6th
David Mayne started so badly that nobody would have been surprised if he had walked off the course after 5 holes (2 points up to then!) but recovered to a very respectable 31points.
Mick Beaumont was also consistent and depending on what card was used had 37 or 38 points. After this had been sorted out he finished second pushing his son Olllie back to third place. Competitive Dad strikes again.
And so to the results:
Tim Linch was the champion with 38 stableford points and he also won the nearest the pin prize for the 18th hole. Mick Beaumont was second with 38 points (count back involving the last 9 holes was used to separate the top three places) Ollie Beaumont was third with 38 points Mark Stace 36 points and he won the nearest the pin on the 9th Steve Beale 35 points Keith Swallow 34 points David Mayne 31 points Chris Baker 31 points Dave Tiltman 31 points Lewis Tiltman 31 points won a prize for holes 10-13 and the “hacker” prize for nearest the tee George Potter 31 points Wayne Bumstead 31 points Bob Baker 29 points won the nearest the pin on the 3rd Dan Marsh 28 points Richard Forrest 27 points took the Wooden Spoon and nearest the pin on the 14th
A welcome meal closed a very successful day. Keep your diary clear for 22nd July 2010 |
